Magnificent nature! The seven Rila lakes are recognized as the most energetic place in the world. Great views from a height of 2500 m. The route is extreme. You need good equipment. The sun is strong and you need sunscreen. Many people visit the Rila lakes in the summer.

We visited Lake Pomorie during our family summer holiday with two kids aged 1.5 and 5y.yo. The lake is a salty lagoon near the town of Pomorie, famous with its healing mud. The mud lies on the bottom of the lake and you can easily take it and spread on the body. You should stay like this for 15-20 min and then wash with salty water from the lake. Here are the most interesting points of Lake Pomorie: - Museum of salt, located on the shore in the town of Pomorie. In the exposition you can see how salt had been produced from the lake for centuries - Birds. The lake is a famous stop for birds on their way south, through the Via Pontica bird migration route. Various birds can be observed in the lake - Bathe/swim - it is not forbidden but the lake itself is shallow - maximum depth 1.5 m. Moreover, it is 4 times saltier than the Black sea - Pomorie salt ponds - at the northern end of the lake, on the way to Aheloy. The salt evaporation basins are a beautiful view on sunset The sand strip separating the lake from the sea is 5-6 km long and can be walked. Cars are allowed to some point Generally lake Pomorie is a beautiful place for both walks, baths and spending time out. Mid that mosquitoes are present in the summer months near the water

Even has few hotels and restaurants in the area this is still one of the wildest beaches of Bulgaria. The Kamchia river flows into the Black Sea. During summer parking is hard to find and ones you park will be hard to get out during the day, therefore if you want tot go there plan to arrive early and stay the hole day. You can take a boat trip up and down the river visiting the fishing village for just 5 euro per person or have a good meal at the local taverns.

Ruse is a pleasant city to walk around: open, structured and it breathes a good atmosphere. Part of this is related to the ability of walking along the Danube. There are lots of open spaces and plenty benches to sit down and oversee the river and overthink life.
